Growing in Line with Nature's Rules

I will keep this very simple today.

As I ponder the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and try to imagine the possible destruction that may be brought on by Hurricane Rita, one thought comes to mind. As economic developers, we have a lot to do with where and how people and businessses grow and develop.

Human beings are NOT above Nature, although much of the time we mistakingly think we are. We must live within Mother Nature's rules if we are to survive. We must do what we can to maintain harmony and balance in our world. Nature's way is the only way.

  • Excellent point.

    I hope some day we are smart enough to steer clear of natural disasters such as those we have seen.

    If I were a company looking today to locate a major business facility, I would think twice about any location that has a higher probability of being hit by major natural disasters.
